bush was the president of the united states. and we were on the brink of financial collapse, according to the description of his own secretary of the treasury. mr. president, let's remember what the economy was doing in the fourth quarter of 2008. the economy was shrinking at a rate of over 8%. in fact, it was shrinking at a rate of almost 9%. in the first month of 2009 -- the last month of the bush administration -- we lost 800,000 jobs in one month. so when people say, "are we better off today than we were then?" well, just as a factual matter, there really can be no dispute. we are dramatically better off today than we were four years ago. four years ago, we were on the brink of financial collapse. four years ago, the economy was shrinking at a rate of almost 9% and we were losing 800,000 jobs a month. now, those are facts. they cannot be disputed. today we are growing -- not as fast as we'd like. jobs are being created -- not as fast as we would like. but that is a dramatic improvement over four years ago. and let's remember
